The laky image doesn't let me set location but other images i've had such as blade let me set location but same result.One thing i noticed is on another post about freezing picture is i have a splitter on the line that that has 3.5db on it and this will reduce the signal strength.Should i change this?And can i put an attenuator on that i have seen on ebay that says 0-20db that can be adjusted or just get a straight forward splitter that has no numbers on it?
Thanks in advance,Ryan.

that splitter is likely to be an attenuator which will reduce signal strength....try pressing red / blue on ur remote....snr should be 55000 +

u can manually set the location.....sure lakys doesn't have this facility - blue button

Ryan.
then removing the splitter is unlikely to help ...was there a set ur location or uk location by pressing the blue button?
